“We can almost all wear less than we think because, to me, I don’t want my kids or people to only see the actor version of me that is perfectly made up by brilliant artists and think that’s how I look,” says Garner. 

“I want to look normal and I want to normalize looking normal. I always have felt really strongly about that. And then if I’m dressed up, I like that my kids are like, ‘Woo, look at my mom!'”

Here, here. Dressing up is dressing up – like Christmas pudding and brandy butter, it’s not meant for everyday. Not even for celebrities –  they have an army of staff whose real life job is to manipulate their hair, face and body into an altered image of perfection that looks good under flashing lights and in paparazzi camera angles. And where’s the beauty in that?
